Northern Grampians Shire Greenlight Planning and Building Permits
The Forward Advocacy Plan has been developed to clearly articulate and gain consensus on a forward advocacy agenda that comprises both project and policy-oriented advocacy actions in a single document.
The Forward Advocacy Plan outlines the strategic context to advocacy at Northern Grampians Shire Council. It connects the advocacy priorities to the Shire Vision 2021-41 and then identifies advocacy actions related to these and the council goals in the Council Plan 2021-25.
The Forward Advocacy Plan provides the Northern Grampians Shire community and all levels of government with an up-to-date insight into what council's project and policy driven advocacy looks like so as to enable a more active role in advocacy to be achieved.
Each advocacy action is accompanied by an Advocacy One Pager which summarises the context, data and/or intended outcomes, related council strategies, and funding ask (where appropriate).
The Forward Advocacy Plan and Advocacy One Pager are available to download from this page.
The Forward Advocacy Program consists of the following advocacy priorities and related advocacy actions. A summary of each advocacy action is available to download, where indicated.
Building More Housing
Growing Local Business
Boosting Tourism
